A garbage truck caught fire and became well-engulfed in flames Tuesday morning near Woodstock, causing Route 120 to be shut down in both directions, officials said. The Woodstock Fire Rescue District responded around 11:05 a.m. Tuesday to the 8300 block of Route 120 in unincorporated Woodstock for a report of a vehicle on fire. Firefighters arrived on the scene and found a garbage truck fully engulfed in flames in the westbound lane of Route 120. A spokesperson for the fire district said the fire was not deemed under control for at least 30 minutes "due to the structural complexity of the commercial vehicle." The Wonder Lake Fire Protection District was called to the scene to assist. Fire crews used both water and foam to extinguish the bulk of the fire.
